There is no set pathway to commencing your medical journey. If you’ve always considered becoming a doctor but decided to study a different subject at degree level, this course is ideal for you. Our four-year Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) course has been designed specifically for graduates who are ready to embark on a career in medicine.

The early years

Based in Derby at the Royal Derby Hospital, the first 18 months of your course will see you develop your understanding of the professional and scientific foundations of medicine. Through problem-based learning, you’ll study clinically relevant topics and patient cases at our modern purpose-built medical school.

You’ll work in small groups to examine a case relating to a specific condition and work together to research the topic, gather relevant evidence and reach initial diagnostic conclusions and management plans. This approach allows you to develop clinical reasoning skills, identify connections between subjects, gain mastery in clinical skills and develop both your teamworking and individual study skills. From year one, topics studied in lectures, seminars, clinical skills, and anatomy suites are supplemented by early observations and patient interactions in primary care or hospital settings.

You'll learn from world-leading researchers and clinicians and benefit from being part of our dedicated Derby medical school and student-led medical society: Derby MedSoc. You can take part in their activities at any stage of your course. They organise various events throughout the year, including a musical, and provide you with additional support, for example, peer mentoring.

The later years

Also called the Clinical Phase, is where you’ll undertake a series of immersive placements in a range of hospitals and GP surgeries. You’ll cover a range of specialities and experience medicine in different clinical settings, giving you a broad understanding and experience of how differently the NHS functions and cares for patients. At the end f the course, you will graduate with a BMBS, enabling you to work as a doctor on the UK Foundation Programme after you graduate. Our in-depth but highly rewarding course provides you with an excellent start on your journey to becoming a doctor.
